Older Adults’ Perception toward Landscaping of Nursing Homes. دانشگاه علم و صنعت ایران. 1404; 35 (3)
چکیده:
This study explores older adults’ perceptions of open-space landscaping in nursing homes, focusing on the psychological underpinnings of their preferences. A photo-based questionnaire employing the Content Identification Method (CIM) was administered to 277 residents of the Khooban Nursing Home in Tabriz. The instrument included three sections: demographic information, dependent variables, and visual imagery of the facility. Findings indicated that respondents highly valued "viewing green spaces was reported to provide comfort" and, in terms of safety, emphasized the importance of "appropriate flooring". Additionally, "having comfortable seating within green areas" emerged as the top priority. Factor analysis identified four key spatial dimensions—complexity, mystery (α = 0.71), prospect (α = 0.63), and refuge—with complexity receiving the highest mean preference rating (3.96 out of 5). Participants also expressed a strong appreciation for landscapes that evoke a "sense of comfort". In terms of visual quality indicators, preferences were ranked in the order of prospect, mystery, complexity, and refuge. These findings can be of interest to landscape architects and urban designers to create appropriate spaces based on the preferences of older adults in nursing homes.
